lsvtec crank... help

Hi im new here but i have been looking about ls vtec builds, right now i got a bareblock b18a but i have everything to complete the build but im just wondering on which crank to use.. ive been reading a whole shit load of stuff but never heard of which crank to use in this build i do have the Can a GSR crank be used or not? Sorry if this has been asked before, my last question before i start building.. thanks in advance

yea thats true, but he just asked if it could be used in the block, and really ls/vtec is a bad name for the type of build, because technically to make it a true ls/vtec you'd have to keep the shitty ls pistons, making it a terrible all motor build

thank you blanco for defending my point, and jesus christ formby i wasn't tryin to nark on your fun or anything you can cool it man, read the fuckin question he asked if the gsr crank fit so i answered his question, you don't have to be a dick about it and you can fuck off with your noob bullshit no one needs that

to the OP, you can use a GSR crank in the LS block without issue. You will need to use hte GSR rods also. if you use a LS crank, you will need to use LS rods.

You can put whatever pistons on the either rods. I think the CTR pistons need to be modified for the small end to fit into the piston, I think its this way on P30's as well. but, for the most part you can use any p16 piston on the LS rod to gain some compression.

ok girls. lol damn. he has a bare block and is asking what crank he should use. I SAY, use whichever you want.LS,gsr,hell get a type R if you want. any of them will work.

heres a question. do have the rods? if so what are they. IF you have stock ls rods and wish to use them(i wouldnt) i recommend arp bolt for extra insurance.

continue arguing. TIME IN!!!!!!!

When i got the bare block it came with the stock crank and rods and pistons but they are kinda shot, so im going to start looking for pistons for it. I also have all ARP bolts/studs for this build, any other recommendations for me? thanks guys

ARe you planning on using a girdle? If not, look into ARP's main stud kit. probably overkill, but... fuck why not? right?

Im with you on this. IMO, the point of an LSVTEC is to use the LS block and crank and rods... up the compression how ever much you want or even drop it... but, LSVTEC is built by combining the LS stroke with the flow of the VTEC head.

Explain this to me. How is it an LS/VTEC when a B18A/B doesn't have a VTEC oil pump or come with B16 pistons? Because by your logic, it can't be an LS/VTEC anymore. It has to go by some other name. This is engine building. Stop being a pedant about the name.

What does it make a B18A/B block if you put a 95mm Scat crank, Carillo rods, Benson 86mm sleeves, and CP pistons in it? Answer, a built B18A/B block. Why? Because you're still using the damn B18A/B block casting. What does it make it if you buy a Dart B18C block? Can it even go by a Honda designation anymore?

To your question, you have a built B18C commonly called a poor man's Type R by people who need to lable their Frankenstein engine with something. Oddly enough, I only see this with Hondas. Pretty much everyone else just says, "it's engine-x with the head(s) from engine-y". Know what they call their engines? Built.

By the way, should I talk to you like you're stupid since you seem to feel that it's the only way to get your point across or would you like a little respect? Exactly.

you like to nit pick things...[you are right but if you think about it so am i] and if you took my comments as disrespect then let it be its your complex not mine [ non intended].... i dont expect you to "respect" anything of mine until i earn your respect...so whatever...

its a stupid crank thread... its not like i disrespected you personally if i did then i guess i should apologize
